Fluffy pancakes

Pancakes are a dish that has been enjoyed for centuries, with evidence of pancake-like foods dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans. In medieval times, pancakes were often made with ingredients such as eggs, flour, and milk, and were traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, the day before the start of Lent. This day became known as Pancake Day, and pancakes were consumed as a way to use up rich ingredients like eggs and sugar before the fasting period of Lent.

Today, Pancake Day is still celebrated in many parts of the world, with people making and eating pancakes as a fun and tasty tradition.

This fluffy pancake recipe is perfect for a delicious and satisfying breakfast. The recipe is quick and easy to follow, requiring just a few simple ingredients. The pancakes turn out light and airy with a soft and fluffy texture.

Ingredients

• 225g plain flour
• 1 level tsp baking soda
• 85g granulated sugar
• 2 beaten eggs
• 4-5 drops of vegetable oil
• 225g Buttermilk

Instructions

1. Sieve the flour into a large bowl and add the baking soda and granulated sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon
2. Add the beaten eggs and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Add dashes of buttermilk to the pancake mix gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon or handheld whisk, until a smooth batter is formed.
4. Leave the batter to rest for 15-20 minutes
5. Heat a good non-stick pan to medium heat
6. Add a ladle of the pancake batter onto the heated pan (the number of pancakes made at each time will depend on the size of your pan). Once consistent bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the batter has risen, flip until both sides are golden brown.

Serve with:

• Butter and sugar
• Sugar and lemon juice
